NCT ID NCT07325214

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This clinical trial tests whether adding focused ultrasound (IMD10) to standard chemotherapy can help people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The study will enroll 136 adults aged 18-85 with confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Half will get chemotherapy alone, the other half chemotherapy plus focused ultrasound, and researchers will track overall survival to see if the combination works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
focused ultrasound (IMD10 device) plus chemotherapy (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-FU, leucovorin)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to shrink pancreatic tumors, potentially making more patients eligible for surgery and improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (136 people) and focused ultrasound for pancreatic cancer is still experimental. It may not improve outcomes or could have unexpected side effects.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 360 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: An individual must meet all the following criteria: -1. Willing and able to understand and sign an ICF and to comply with all aspects of the protocol * 2\. Aged between 18 and 85 years, inclusive * 3\. Histologically or cytologically, pathologically confirmed diagnosis of PDAC. * 4\. Classification as BRPC or LAPC according to the NCCN Guidelines (The latest Edition) by radiologic test (CT or MRI), eligible for chemotherapy regimen within 4 weeks of the screening visit * 5\. Must have at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria at the screening visit. * 6\. The ECOG performance status 0 or 1 * 7\. Trial participant having laboratory values defined as: \-- Neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L * Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L * AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN * 8\. Life expectancy is more than 12 weeks * 9\. A female is eligible to trial participate if not pregnant, not breast feeding -and either a woman not of childbearing potential or, if a woman of childbearing potential agrees to use highly effective methods of contraception from screening to EOS * 10\. A male trial participant with female partner(s) of childbearing potential agrees to use highly effective methods of contraception from screening to EOS Exclusion Criteria: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in this clinical trial: * 1\. The presence of a cystic lesion within tumor to be treated, or at the pancreas adjacent to the treated tumor. * 2\. Extensive scars or surgical clips observed in the region through which the ultrasound beam will pass * 3\. Targeted tumor(s) is not clearly visible with IMD10. * 4\. Tumor is not treatable by the working range of IMD10 * 5\. Patient has difficulty in lying in supine position. * 6\. Known history of severe hypersensitivity to ultrasound gel or to chemotherapies (irinotecan hydrochloride, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin) used in this clinical trial * 7\. Known, or ongoing receipt at the time of screening, of anti-tumor therapy for pancreatic cancer including chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery * 8\. A cardiovascular condition at the time of the screening visit that deems trial participation inappropriate due to one or more of the following: * Class III or IV heart failure according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification * Acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or myocardial infarction) within the last 24 weeks --③ Uncontrolled heart arrhythmia * Other clinically significant cardiovascular abnormalities as determined by the investigator * 9\. Known history at the time of the screening visit that deems trial participation inappropriate due to one or more of the following: * Other uncontrolled chronic infectious diseases * Active autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.) * Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency diseases, such as cellular immunodeficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, and hypergammaglobulinemia. * Clinically significant mental illness * 10\.
